    The Elgin Hotel

    April 21, 2023 in India ⋅ 🌧 55 °F

    We are staying in a hotel tonight that was established in 1887! It has beautiful grounds and a lovely view. An annex to the main building has a gallery of photos honoring Tensing Norgay, the Sherpa mountaineer who summited Everest with Sir Edmund Hillary. Though he wasn’t born here, Norgay later lived in Darjeeling.

    Edited to add: A dramatic thunderstorm came through and the power went out for a few minutes! Then playing parcheesi in the hotel bar - perfection!

    TravelerMe too! In the end we had quite the thunderstorm after dark. Parts of the city are still without power!
